"As Mr. Crowe's attorneys, it goes without saying that we disagreed with the original jury finding of guilt and are disappointed in today's decision of the Judge to impose a sentence of death in this case," said attorney Steven Goldstein.

"The judge's decision to follow the jury's recommendation of death in this case was appropriate. Mr. Dailey suffered a cruel death at the hands of Thomas Crowe. As I argued to the judge, murder is the taking of innocent life. The death penalty is putting to death the murderer of an innocent person," Casey said.
